The team now has until 5 p.m. PDT on Tuesday to sell 3,700 general tickets. Several hundred club seats also are available.

or visiting the Chargers Ticket Office at Gate C at Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers’ ticket office is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The game is being televised nationally by ESPN. If the blackout is lifted, the game will be seen in San Diego on both ESPN and KFMB-TV, Channel 8.
